Randy Leffingwell I’m told the latest mid-engined Corvette is a terrific drive; a Pantera done well, a fellow scribe described it to me. The only one I ever drove was a ’58 and it was the worst surprise I ever had –a wallowing pudding, yet a sales success. I can’t tell what’s new here, but the book boasts access to unseen GM photo and media files, and I found it absorbing.
Noted Corvette expert Leffingwell writes authoritatively, mixing the constructional bones with the visual elements including outside influences, spin-offs and the successful racing variations. He slides between the eras making it a very approachable summary of America’s favourite sports car.
